Virgin at a glance Washington County · Utah
Virgin is a community along the Virgin River in the corridor west of Zion National Park. Its preserved local history traces pioneer settlement to 1857 and describes a river landscape cut through rocky ledges, with farming among the activities that shaped community life.
Today, town resources connect residents with parks, water information, local events, council records and planning. That mix gives readers a way to explore the community itself as well as its relationship with the surrounding park corridor. Municipal services and national-park operations remain separate, so the town and the park each provide information for different parts of a visit or a service question.
